Flexible light guides transmit light through glass optical fibers

Flexible light guides transmit light through glass optical fibers. Standard light guides collect light in a large acceptance angle, typically 82°. In light collecting efficiency, this is equivalent to a lens system with an f/number of .57.

These fiber optic devices are used to transport light over complicated paths into remote areas, while saving weight, space and cost. They are especially suited to explosive, corrosive, and otherwise hazardous environments. Standard light guides are available in a variety of sheathing materials to meet customer requirements.
